The The TV personality captioned the post: “I’ve been in the gym a lot lately doing strength and high resistance training. It helped me completely change my shape and gave me more confidence as a result.”
She told The Daily Star: “I had a personal trainer for a year and a half, almost two years, and we did a lot of strength training work and I started to see, along with all the running that I was doing, I started, mean to see body change.
“That’s why not many people recognize me on the street anymore, it says online I’m unrecognizable, which is true.
“But yeah, I’m not saying I miss being chased around a mall by school kids, but honestly, once I started seeing a change in body shape, it turned me on even more.”
It comes after the star shared incredible photos after falling three sizes following lockdown in 2021.
Honey changed her figure after dropping from a size 18 to a size 12 during the coronavirus pandemic.
She revealed in an interview at the time that she can now wear clothes she “didn’t dare dream of” before and that she still enjoys wearing sexy lingerie.
Speaking to Closer magazine, Honey shared how discarding her signature baseball caps and bomber jackets for sleek ensembles after her weight loss has boosted her confidence as she is inundated with compliments.

She explained: “I used to wear loose and baggy clothes up to a size 18, but I threw away most as my tastes matured. Now I can wear outfits I never dreamed of and I can fit into nice Victoria’s Secret underwear.
She admitted she had times when she felt like she lacked “sex appeal,” but was pleased to say things have changed for her now that she’s worked “so hard” to get her figure change, adding that it’s been several years since she’s “felt so good” about herself.
In 2020, Honey showed off her new look after completing a charity triathlon and admitted she’d exercised more in lockdown than “in her entire life”.
Honey also competed in a triathlon in September 2021 and shared an Instagram photo of her athletic build at the finish line at Box End Park.
